Good morning, great morning with brilliant sunshine, Staff Sgt. Just thought I stop by to back the respect and love. Love the site, Keep up the good work. The site is very good information. Listen Read phonetically
Preparing for boot camp is simple ... get fit, learn to swim (they will teach you in boot camp but you'll really wish you had learned before you got there), bring nothing but your 'never quit' attitude.
Hey SSGT Nichols. Visitor of the Air Force flavor here. Somehow I stumbled here while researching more about AF bootcamp. Believe it or not, my main TI had the same last name as yours... for a split second I did a double take wondering whether I'd found *his* page. Almost made me tremble in fear ;)
My son just started basic three days ago. This is a great website letting us know what he's going through. Sure isn't like the Air Force basic training I went through in 1970.
Tera, they will give you everything you need to do your hair and give you barely enough time to do it, but you will do it in a specific way. Talk to your recruiter about the buddy program. In my platoon (1019, june 06 to sept 06) we had a couple guys in the buddy program, but we also had a guy whos buddy ended up in another platoon. If one of you is injured or is recycled for any reason, you will not be able to stay with them. In the end you must befriend and rely on your fellow recruits.
HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY HAIR IF I CANT BRING ANYTHING? WHAT ACTIVITIES WILL I HAVE TO DO ALONE IN BOOTCAMP? IF A FRIEND JOINS WITH ME AND WE ARE TRYNA TO GET THE SAME RATE. IS IT A POSSIBILITY WE MIGHT END UP TOGETHER? ALSO WHAT IS THE MOST STRENIOUS THING ABOUT BOOT CAMP?
how many pull-ups can the average recruit do on their IFT?
Here in Holland, the marine corps training/bootcamp has a duration of 6 to 7 months. My question. Why does it takes 12 weeks to be a marine in the US? OORHAA!! 4 the dutch and the US marines.
And Marko, you will need to talk to our Immigration Department about citizenship. You can volunteer for any branch of the US military to achieve citizenship in the US. I think you receive it after four years of active duty.
James, they took my only personal item I had on me, my Bible. Dont take anything. They give you everything you need (and a new Bible). But they did handle my Bible with respect, whereas they through everyone elses trash in the trash.
If you're a recruit headed to Parris Island or San Diego, what are the only things you should bring? Because, I was watching the receiving episode, and I was amazed at how much "junk" some of the recruits brought with them, which seemed to make the drill instructors more aggressive with some of the recruits.
Von: First question: Condition yourself to give 100% in everything you do at all times. Never quit, never give up.
I have a question. How hard is it for foreigners to get not just in the United States Marine Corps but in the whole U.S. Military ?? What kind of process is necesary for someone from a diferent country to sign up for active service in the U.S.M.C. ??
How do i mentally prepare for boot camp What will i be doing in boot camp What is the physical trainng like how long is it basically how often will i shave and can i get treated for razor bumps what will i receive once i get to the depot
